Dispatch Lands on Xbox July 29 as AdHoc Adds 5 New Language Options

Q: With their first hit fully launched, what new narrative worlds are the ex-Telltale developers at AdHoc exploring next?

AdHoc’s next confirmed narrative world is the **Critical Role universe**. After the breakout success of *Dispatch*—the studio’s first original game and a hit choice-driven superhero comedy from former Telltale developers—reporting indicates AdHoc is now developing a video game set in the world of **Critical Role**. That would move the studio from *Dispatch*’s satirical superhero workplace setting into a fantasy franchise with an established fan base and deep lore. Public details remain limited. Neither the news announcement about *Dispatch*’s Xbox launch nor the related materials outline the game’s story, characters, release window, or platforms. What is clear is that AdHoc, founded by veterans of Telltale, Night School, and Ubisoft, is using the momentum from *Dispatch* to expand into another narrative-heavy property rather than immediately announcing a second original universe. That makes the safest factual answer straightforward: beyond continuing support for *Dispatch*—including localization updates and Comic-Con promotion—the studio’s next known exploration is an interactive narrative project in the **Critical Role** world.
